I had no idea that Bruce Hornsby was from Williamsburg. I used to love (I guess I still love it) that Mandolin Rain song he sang. It would have been cool if I had run into him when I used to live there.

Bruce Hornsby gone country? Well I'll be. We have a lot of celebrities with second homes here. I'm surprised there's not a company that produces "Maps to the Stars" here like there in L.A. Hmmmmmm.
